Celtic pre season plans in chaos after Wolves and Roma friendlies in South Korea are scrapped

Celtic's pre-season plans are up in the air after Wolves and Roma pulled out of a glamour clash in Korea after a bust up with promoters.

Brendan Rodgers’ side were due to face the English Premier League outfit in Suwon on July 26. But Wolves have now withdrawn from the encounter as well as their friendly match with Roma with the Italian giants also pulling out of their South Korea trip. Now the Serie A side have withdrawn as well. Celtic will head to Japan to face Yokohama F Marinos and Gamba Osaka – but they are now in talks with the promoters over the proposed second leg of their Far East trip.

Record Sport understands there are no issues for the Hoops and they are now looking at contingency plans – with striker Oh Hyeon-gyu set for a Korean homecoming. Wolves – who have Korea star Hee Chan Hwang in their ranks – insisted they have pulled the plug over delays and problems over ticket sales.
